उत्तर
- Silver articles turn blackish after some time of exposure to air. This is because silver undergoes corrosion when exposed to air containing hydrogen sulphide.
- Silver reacts with hydrogen sulphide in air to form a layer of silver sulphide \[\ce{(Ag2S)}\], which gives silver articles a blackish appearance.
